I’m lucky enough to 5 foot six and muscular for a woman, but there are also tools of the trade.
I find people like yourself to actually be the most thoughtful and aware. Maybe it’s the effect of being large from an early age? Social behaviour is usually learned young, or not at all.
I’ve been known to bark out “heads up!” and “coming through!” A friend of mine has a bicycle bell on her stroller, which is surprisingly effective.
I was happy with it because of the way I said it, it was hard to tell if I was giving a mixed up apology, or being sarcastic. Confusing and upsetting nasty people is my favourite hobby. ;)
Don’t be. I was entertaining the idea of posting a gif of Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff.
Not sure it’s only a male v. female dynamic, but find that when there is a bulky person or a group coming in the opposite direction, I, a woman, am supposed to move out of the way. Yesterday, there was a group of four walking abreast coming towards me when an unexpected fifth came up from behind on my side and blocked…
Not at first, certainly. But now she’s in a minimum security hospital. And arguably, that’s where she should stay, though according to this article, she’s still being singled out, this time because leniency would cause bad publicity. There’s no question that Andrea was mentally ill for a long time before the killings,…
Then there is some equity in the universe, if not justice. ;)
Just so you know, legalbeaver, when I refreshed my screen, the word “flagged”, in red, came up next to my original post.
Perhaps you are making a satirical point that I am missing. But in case you are serious, and if you are referring to the Liam Fee murder case (and there is more than one case of two women killing a two-year-old boy), here are some of the differences the judge might have taken into account:
This is what hyperbole looks like in the 21st Century. Do yourself a favour, and simply Google “mob kills woman”, and see what comes up internationally, or even in the U.S.
Please do, and if you can, report back!
As I noted to someone else above, this is the second time Jez has used that identical picture. Why, I don’t know.
This is actually the second time Jez has used that aww, sad face picture of the defendant, for reasons that remain murky to me.
Doesn’t the fact that this woman killed only the children of one man — the one she was currently with — suggest that there is also an element of revenge or malice against the children’s father, as well as mental illness? I don’t know what the story means by “escape”, but bear in mind the boy is only seven. Also,…
The sex in the book is...well, kind of silly — genital cosplay, running around naked in the rain, etc. — but forgivable, because it felt like genuine liberation at the time.
Because they habitually feature the books of present and former writers, and there a lot of those. Being People Magazine, they are puffed, with never a harsh word.
They need to act together again soon.
